Check before update in table

[mrahhaoui]

Hi Guru's,

I am a new developper in abap. I have a question concerning the check before the update in a table.

I uploaded a csv file by the function module GUI_DOWNLOAD but now before to do the update I have to check if the correct value for the controlling area and profit centre are used .

I don't know where do my test.

Anyone can help me?

Regards,

Mohamed.

UPDATE

- fill table --> check all values of the file and if one error stop processing and do not update anything in the table

- check if controlling area is correct

- check if profit center is correct

/.....

.....

/

LOOP AT it_datatab INTO wa_datatab.

split wa_datatab at ';' into

wa_cepc_segm-KOKRS

wa_cepc_segm-PRCTR

wa_cepc_segm-DATBI

wa_cepc_segm-DATAB

wa_cepc_segm-SEGMENT.

APPEND i_cepc.

CLEAR i_cepc.

ENDLOOP.

END-OF-SELECTION.

Just locate the tables that data is stored in and select it. Then check the value of sy-subrc. If it's 0, the data's been located, thus it's valid.

Before updating , you can loop the data table and check.

You can filter the wrong inputs.

Otherwise during updation only you will come to know this.
